Niagara: Diamond Joe

About this expansion

Niagara: Diamond Joe is a 2005 expansion for Niagara that supports 3–5 players and is played in approximately 45 minutes.

Diamond Joe roams the river, bringing the more difficult-to-reach gems upstream. His presence introduces a distinctive trading opportunity for the players, offering a way to exchange with a character who is happy to make a deal—even when the trade is one-sided.

This expansion is designed to be added to the original Niagara game. It focuses on Diamond Joe’s movement along the river, the gems he carries upstream, and his willingness to trade with players.

The compact package makes it easy to keep the expansion’s components together with its rules and boat. Once included with Niagara, Diamond Joe gives players another notable presence on the river and adds his unusual approach to trading.

For fans of Niagara, this expansion offers a focused addition built around a roaming trader and hard-to-reach gems. Diamond Joe’s readiness to trade, even when the exchange favors one side, makes him a memorable part of the river’s activity.
